Maya Deane is an American author and translator known for her innovative reimagining of classical mythology. Her debut novel, "Wrath Goddess Sing," transforms Homer's Iliad into a stunning science fiction epic where Achilles is a transgender woman and the Trojan War unfolds across a far-future galactic civilization. Deane brings fresh perspective to ancient narratives through her unique fusion of classical scholarship and speculative fiction. Her work explores themes of identity, gender, war, and mythology with lyrical prose and bold imagination. She has also translated poetry and written about queer and transgender themes in literature and culture.
